Is HF amateur radio history now???
Signed into law in the last couple of days is the bill that allows Internet signals over the power line system. Due to interference there will be no more short wave reception in the US. Does this also eliminate HF ham radio, it is expected to.
How about that, no more short wave news and programs.
Bye, Bye, CB also...

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Maybe this will provide some light on the the subject:

I haven't been keeping many tabs on this subject, but I hope that technology moves quick enough to work out the interference issues. Though in my case it wouldn't affect me badly because I never us HF, only 2m and 440.
On a seperate note what I am wondering is, how has Michael Powell's appointment to his position helped or hurt Amateur Radio Operators. Based on many of his other actions, it seems that he lacks the qualifications, understanding and has caused a general decline in all aspects of all FCC regulated communications. Just some of my under-educated wonderings.

If you will notice and I have been given, there is absolutely no attempt to protect short wave broadcasts, the transmission lines will radiate. Listening to BBC and whatnot will be over.
